Getting Fingers Dirty
I bought a Canon pixma mp 190 and have already gone through the supplied cartridges. I guess they don't put much in those things. New cartridge prices are outrageous! I had a refill kit from Hewlett Packard and refilled those carts I removed. 20ml in the black and 6ml in each color chamber. I have searched many sites looking for a continuous ink system. Most of what I found is a whole bunch for epson and hewlett packard. How come these ink people don't make stuff for Canon CL31 and PG30? Are they THAT difficult to make? How would I go about making a cfs for the Canon? I can get capillary tubing and use needles from other refill kits I have. Just want to know how the thing works. Is it just surface tension that draws ink into the cartridge sponge? Or is there a partial vacuum created when the ink flows?
